Book Review: NKJV, Unapologetic Study Bible: Confidence for Such a Time As This from the Emmanuel Foundation

NKJV, Unapologetic Study Bible: Confidence for Such a Time As This from the Emmanuel Foundation


To say this book is a study Bible is sort of a misnomer.  Usually, when we think of a study Bible we think of a Bible which has cross references and notes with references, etc.  


NKJV, Unapologetic Study Bible: Confidence for Such a Time As This from the Emmanuel Foundation is different.  

We read the Bible everyday and have several study Bibles, each one has a little something different.  Some have quite a few maps and illustrations. One is laden with footnotes that explain in a little more depth what is going on and gives cross references to other parts of the Bible that help to understand the passage.

The NKJV, Unapologetic Study Bible does not have all that. It does have some notes about translation differences in other translations of the Bible.

It also has what could be called articles sprinkled throughout the Bible that discuss the message that all Christians should be getting but many aren’t. The Emmanuel Foundation takes on the issues that preachers should be preaching about but so few do because they are afraid that people don’t want to hear about their sins; they only want to hear about how good they are doing and that everything under the sun is okay.

This NKJV, Unapologetic Study Bible gives what should be a wake up call to Christians who have grown up in a world of political correctness and tolerance.   One should read Matthew 7:21-24 to see that many of these so called “tolerant Christians” are not correct. All Christians should read these articles and hear what they may not be hearing from the pulpit of their church.

We give NKJV, Unapologetic Study Bible: Confidence for Such a Time As This from the Emmanuel Foundation all five stars.  We feel like The Emmanuel Foundation is correct in its assessment of what the Bible really says.  This would make a great gift for any Christian.  

The only real issue we have is minor. When this Bible breaks into an article, it often does so in the middle of a Bible chapter.  This sometimes breaks the flow of reading.  This is only a very minor issue.

Book Review: Complete Guide to Bible Journaling: Creative Techniques to Express Your Faith

Complete Guide to Bible Journaling: Creative Techniques to Express Your Faith

By Joanne Fink and Regina Yoder

This was a fascinating book to explore.  I had no clue that  people used their Bibles as an art canvas, of sorts.  There are beautiful examples of creativity throughout this book.

Complete Guide to Bible Journaling comes with stickers, tabs for marking the various books of the Bible, your favorite verses, devotions, sermon take-aways, traceable images, as well as vellum overlays.

This book explains what Bible journaling is as well as gives tips and suggestions for how to do it.  Links are provided for various online resources to help you learn even more about this creative movement. A tools and techniques section explains how to use the various art media such as acrylic paint, Washi tape, ink stamps, as well as how to prep your page beforehand and much more.

There is also an artist profile section telling the stories of 11 Bible journalers and a section to help you decide which type of Bible might work best for you.

If you have had a desire to bring your creative side into a relationship with your spiritual side, to explore your heart and soul through the end of a paintbrush or even glitter, this may be the book for you.

Have a blessed day!

Day 14 – A Non-Fictional Book

I do not generally read non-fiction books, so none of the typical non-fiction books really stand out to me. However, the Holy Bible is a non-fiction book and it is loaded with the types of things that hold my interest. It has history, genealogy, geography, poetry/songs, family relationships (or lack thereof), culture...all things that I find very interesting.

The biggest part of the story there is that it is a story of the ultimate love - the love Our Heavenly Father has for us, His children, and how His Son died to save us from our sins.

It is well worth the read. Have a blessed day!
